Scheduled for January 2: How do octopuses think?
Free MP3 media files.
Guest: Peter Godfrey-Smith, Professor of Philosophy, City University of New York.
Quote: "How do animals think? Do they have consciousness? If your answer to that question is 'yes',
you're probably thinking of your pet dog. But dogs are easy: they're domesticated, they more of less
co-evolved with us. Apes are easy too: they're our cousins. But what about octopuses? An octopus has
neurons in its arms, and it has eight arms, so does it have eight brains, or nine counting the one in
the head? This week on The Philosopher's Zone, we investigate an intelligence very unlike our own
The Philosopher's Zone, from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, is your guide through the strange thickets of logic, metaphysics and ethics." Programme Info/Files: http://www.abc.net.au/rn/philosopherszone/ . CBC1 Schedule Info: http://www.cbc.ca/programguide/program/the_philosophers_zone |

Today's "Science of Willpower" blog. Dr. McGonigal's latest book is
The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do to Get More of It.
Quote: "At the start of a new year, many of us resolve to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
We plan to quit smoking if we haven't already; or we intend to get into a regular exercise routine,
give up junk food and lose weight. Why are New Year's resolutions so easy to make--and so hard to keep?
If we only had more willpower, we think, perhaps we wouldn't give in to temptation so easily.
Can we exercise willpower like a muscle to make it stronger? Find out how self-control works and how to
make it work for you. And have a happy and healthy new year

The idea of the group is that you help those learning your native language while you get help
from others who speak the language you want to practice. When you come in, just fill out a tag
with your name and native language, and introduce yourself to one of our coordinators - you can
ask one of the servers to point them out - who can introduce you to others with the same language
interests. Then buy some drinks and enjoy the evening with your new friends!
Join us this Saturday and meet a fun group of people. Feel free to come solo or invite as many
friends as you would like. We're looking forward in meeting every one of you."

responding locally to a deepening global crisis. Is a book club the best way to do this?

Free MP3 media files.
Guest: Ian Kerridge, Associate Professor, Bioethics, Director, Centre for
Values, Ethics and the Law in Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Sydney.
Quote: "Inserting a cow valve into Kevin Rudd's heart is not a new medical technique but is
part of a general move towards xenotransplantation. Xenotransplantation is when you take living
cells, tissues and organs from one species and transplant them into another.
Human xenotransplantation offers a potential treatment for end-stage organ failure, but it also
raises many novel medical, legal and ethical issues. This week, we explore some of them.
The Philosopher's Zone, from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, is your guide through the strange thickets of logic, metaphysics and ethics." Programme Info/Files: http://www.abc.net.au/rn/philosopherszone/ . CBC1 Schedule Info: http://www.cbc.ca/programguide/program/the_philosophers_zone |

climate change could conceivably trigger ecological and economic collapse. Today we'll hear from
specialists worldwide in the new science of agro-biodiversity who are combining the best of both
ancient and organic agriculture and using cacao's charismatic attraction to inspire the replanting
of tropical rainforests, stabilize the climate, raise incomes for farmers, and improve human health.
A World of Possibilities is an award-winning, one-hour weekly radio program of public affairs. It seeks to build bridges across boundaries of background and belief and discover solutions to longstanding challenges through penetrating conversations with pragmatic social innovators, leading policy analysts and big-picture thinkers on key national and global issues."

Come and listen and vote for the side you feel is most convincing. Will your vote match the
decision of the official adjudicator? The outcome of this debate might have long-lasting

Guest: Associate Professor Danielle Celermajer, Associate Professor

Quote: "Hannah Arendt's life describes a tragically typical twentieth century trajectory.
Born in Germany and, fleeing the Nazis, she ended up in the United States, where she died in 1975.
As a philosopher - a title she disclaimed - she insisted on the importance of thinking in the
world and not trying to be above it and she thought that understanding the richness and variety
of the world was more important than attaining a consistent view of it. This week, we look at a
very worldly thinker.
The Philosopher's Zone, from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, is your guide through the strange thickets of logic, metaphysics and ethics." Programme Info/Files: http://www.abc.net.au/rn/philosopherszone/ . CBC1 Schedule Info: http://www.cbc.ca/programguide/program/the_philosophers_zone |

January 29, Sunday, 2:05pm. 99.1 FM. CBC Radio 1 - Tapestry.
Scheduled for January 29: God and Religion in AA.
Sundays 2pm.
Quote: "In 1939, the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous published what has become known as The Big Book.
It outlines 12 steps in which alcoholics admit they have no control over alcohol and that they need the
help of a higher power to get sober.
More than 70 years later, many people are asking whether belief in a higher power is necessary in
order to stop drinking. Can atheists and agnostics use the steps to get sober?
Mary talks to Rabbi Shais Taub who is also known as a Recovery Rabbi. He uses the 12 steps to treat
Jewish alcoholics and he says belief in a higher power is absolutely essential.
We'll also hear from Joe, Roger and Joanne. They're part of an agnostic AA Group in Toronto that has
removed God from the 12 steps. But in May 2011, they were removed from the local Toronto AA listings
for doing so.
Tune in Sunday afternoons for an engaging, provocative and unexpected hour of radio: an hour in which rabbis and poets get equal time on the topic of faith - science-fiction writers and physicist-priests ponder the great creation myths - scholars and gardeners explore the garden as a spiritual metaphor ? and architects examine the idea of space for the soul."
